1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

objectivesTo investigate the neuroprotective effect of gastrodin (GAS) against hypobaric hypoxia (HH)-induced brain injury in rats and the underlying mechanism.

methodsTwenty-four adult SD rats were randomized equally into normoxic control group, HH model group, low-dose (100 mg/kg) GAS group (HH+GAS-L group), and high-dose (200 mg/kg) GAS group (HH+GAS-H group). In the latter 3 groups, the rats were exposed to HH in a hypobaric oxygen chamber for 24 h to simulate the condition at an altitude of 6000 m, and GAS was administered intraperitoneally once daily for 7 days. Cerebral cortex tissues were collected for analysis of P53, SLC7A11, and GPX4 protein expressions using Western blotting and for determination of the levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS), malondialdehyde (MDA), glutathione (GSH), and ferrous ion (Fe²⁺). In cultured HT22 neurons exposed to oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD), the effects of GAS (500 μmol/L), nutlin-3 (a P53 agonist; 10 μmol/L) or their combination were examined on ferroptosis-related protein expressions, intracellular ROS, lipid peroxidation, MDA, GSH, cell viability, mitochondrial membrane potential, and Fe²⁺ levels.

resultsIn the rat models of HH, GAS treatment significantly inhibited P53 expression, upregulated SLC7A11 and GPX4 proteins, markedly reduced Fe²⁺, ROS, and MDA levels, and increased GSH content in the cerebral cortex. In cultured HT22 neurons, GAS treatment effectively alleviated OGD-induced cell ferroptosis as shown by decreased P53 expression, increased SLC7A11 and GPX4 expressions, and lowered levels of intracellular ROS generation, lipid peroxidation, and Fe²⁺ accumulation, along with obvious restoration of GSH levels, cell viability, and mitochondrial membrane potential. The protective effects of GAS was markedly attenuated by activation of the P53 pathway using nutlin-3.

conclusionsGAS produces neuroprotective effects against HH-induced brain injury in rats by inhibiting neuronal ferroptosis via regulating the P53/SLC7A11/GPX4 signaling pathway.
